Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Miki, the issue is that bisect calls tend to be made repeatedly, so the
key function can be called over and over again for the same argument. 
It is almost always a better design to simply decorate the list so the
key function never gets called more than once per element in the list. 
If we added key= to bisect, it would encourage bad design and steer
people after from better solutions.
